Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu is a lecturer in the Department of Science and Engineering of Oxide Materials and Nanomaterials, at the Faculty of Applied Chemistry and Materials Science, Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania. He is an experienced researcher and published editor in the field of nano and biostructures. He is the editor-in-chief of two international open access journals: Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry, Letters and Applied NanoBioScience. Dr. Grumezescu has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, authored nine books, and has served as an editor for more than 50 scholarly books.

"Nevertheless, the book has succeeded in presenting readers with the frontiers of food packaging materials science. The state-of-the-art in developing high barrier and multifunctional food packaging materials using nanotechnology and biodegradable or renewable polymers is well documented, as well as fundamental knowledge, scientific background and insights into the future development of packaging materials" --Johnson Matthey Technology Review

".a valuable resource for anyone in the food industry who needs the most current information and scientifi c advances in the fi eld of nanotechnology as applied to food packaging." --Acta Alimentaria
